Resumen
Este estudio de caso describe la evaluación y tratamiento de una mujer de 60 años, ama de casa, quien sufrió un evento cerebrovascular isquémico en 2018, resultando en hemiparesia derecha y afasia. Se abordó su rehabilitación mediante el Concepto Bobath, con énfasis en el control postural, alineación, locomoción y movimiento selectivo, en un contexto de objetivos funcionales específicos y participación activa de la paciente. Después de 7 sesiones en 3 semanas, la paciente mostró mejoría funcional: pasó de 14 a 20 puntos en la Escala de Tinetti y disminuyó el tiempo del test Get Up and Go de 39 a 33 segundos.
